ANOTHER THEATRE BURNED.
Theatre Royal of Exeter, Eng. &C Onsume
-I3O Bodies Recovered.

-l3O Bodies Recovered.
The Theatre Royal at Exeter, took fire
during performance of ''The Romany
Rye" There was only one exit from the gal
lery, and the rush there was terrific. Scores
were trodden under foot and suffocated
About 130 bodies have been recovered. They
are almost unrecognizable. In many cases
every shred of clothing is burned off, and the
bodies look black and raw. The search con-
tinues. Thirty injured persons have been
taken to the hospital,
The was a full house, and everything was
all right until the end of the third act, at
1880, when a drop-scene fell, and in mo-
ment the whole stage was q mass of fire A
wild panic ensued. The flames spread rapidly
and filled the theatre with dense smoke. The
scene was an awful one Some men implored
the audience to be cool, but it was impossible
to check the frantic rush. The theatre hose
was brought into use in a few minutes but
the water had little effect on the flames. The
actors and actresses were in their
dressing rooms, and were taken from
ders. They lost everything, except
the clothing they wore. The occupants Of
the stage, pit and dress circle escaped after q
dreadful crushing, many being badly bruised
The people in the upper circle and gallery
rushed to the windows, screaming franti-
cally. Many jumped from the windows and
were injured, and others were rescued with
the aid of ladders from the verandas.
When the fire started, the drop scene wa:
lowered to prevent a draught. Some of the
actors opened door to escape, causing the
fire to burst through the drop scene and t.
ignite the gallery. The flames overlook the
people who were wedged in an immovabl'
mass and roasted them to death. Many whC
were rescued alive died soon after being
brought out of the burning building. Th'
occupants of the dress circle escaped withou
serious harm.
Only the walls of the structure are stand
ing. The hospitals are beseiged by anony
nous inquirers for friends. i Twenty badl,
burned persons who were admitted to tn
hospitals died few moments after they wer
received. The fire blazed fiercely, lighting
up the whole city and burned very late, max
ing the search for bodies very slow.

INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS.
Cheerful Sun and Promise Of Better Weather
and Better Roads Helping Matters.

and Better Roads Helping Matters.
INDIANAPOLIS, Feb 80.
The volume of trade in the week closing to-day has
fallen considerably below the expectations of mer-
chants in the early part of the week. but dsareeable
weather and impossible country roads cut trade down
to the minimum. Yet, taking survey of the field
there is much that is encouraging Financial affairs
in a sound condition, with an active demand for
money at comparatively low of interest; there is
gratifying activity in all departments of industrial en-
terprse, while the pro6table character of business
operations is of the best indications of general
prosperity. Under these circumstances business
men are looking forward with hopeful authorizations to
the advent OF spring that always brings with it re.
newed life and animation. The evidences of continued
steady to be found in the increased
ings OF the railroads, which necessarily means an ex-
panding volume of traffic well the large increase
in the export movement of produce that is shown for
the month OF January In prices locally there were
but few changes Eggs drop back l cent on reports
of gutted markets East and 10 cents is predicted as
to be the ruling price week Receipts of butter
are light and really choice stock is easily disposed
our quotations. Poultry is firm. In groceries there
is light distribution. Sugars are weak at Quota
tons while coffees again firm in tone. Canned
goods and dried fruits meeting with good SALE
Druggists are quite busy and many articles they hall
die are hrmer and tend to higher prices. The
hide market is moving along in the rut of some
months past. There is difficulty in disposing of
this stock, but any attempt to spring prices meets
with rebuff. Trade with the hardware men and
iron dealers is becoming more active, excellent
pAoopSSeS prices
the coming of the more active season in the way of
building etc. Trade with the goods men is rather
fiat. little good weather, however will bring their
business well to the front. The provision market
still points to higher prices with active demand
for the Southern and Eastern markets
GRAIN.
The local markets to-day took decidedly frmer
tone. This was in great measure due to the fact
that receipts are seldom light at the present
time Elevators and storehouses adjacent to railroad
tracks pretty we'll cleared of their holdings and It
is impossible bad the roads, to replenish them
Corn is in strong demand at quotations and the
is true of oats while little increase in receipts
of wheat would supply the demand which now seems
to be wholly local in character Track bids on Change

The terms used in stating the contingency in
